法華經義記 3.38

3.38

「爾時世尊而說偈言」下，正法說中本有二，長行與偈頌。此下是第二偈頌，凡有一百十四行偈，正頌上。上長行中本有二：一者緣起、二者正法說，開方便門示真實相。今者一百一十四行偈亦開為二段：初有四行一句偈頌上長行中第一緣起，第二餘一百九行三句偈頌上長行中第二正法說也。但上緣起中本有二：一者是佛許為說同歸之義，二者舍利弗受佛明旨。今者四行一句唯頌佛許，不頌舍利弗受旨也。然上佛許中本有四重，一者正許說、二者誡勅、三者簡眾，今皆不頌，唯頌第四歎眾總結誡許也。

From 'At that time the World-Honoured One spoke in verse' below: in the correct exposition by dharma there were originally two parts, prose and verse. What follows is the second, the verse, totaling one hundred and fourteen verse lines, which verses the above. In the above prose there were originally two parts: first, the causal arising; second, the correct exposition by dharma, opening the gate of skilful means and revealing the true mark. Now the one hundred and fourteen verse lines are also divided into two sections: first, there are four lines and one phrase of verse that verse the first, causal arising, in the prose above; second, the remaining one hundred and nine lines and three phrases of verse that verse the second, correct exposition by dharma, in the prose above. However, within the causal arising above there were originally two: first, the Buddha granting that he would speak of the meaning of converging on the same [end]; second, Śāriputra receiving the Buddha's clear intent. Now, the four lines and one phrase only verse the Buddha granting [it], and do not verse Śāriputra receiving the intent. Yet within the Buddha granting [it] above there were originally four layers: first, directly granting to speak; second, admonition; third, selecting the assembly; now none of these are versed, and it only verses the fourth, praising the assembly and concluding with admonition and granting.
